I love the pouch sling though am not a fan of that particular one. It is a bit small for me and it's kind of a stiff fabric. I really want to get a nestlings merino one, but it's near impossible to do so- they don't have a website per say, just a blog spot with a couple of vendors, but when you go to their sites you can't find them- so frustrating!!

Amber you should join slingbabies or your local baby wearing group then you can try on all the different carriers people have hehe I've not yet managed to get to a meeting but we have a Moby and a Kozy anyway and I've tried quite a few friends ones..it's amazing how different they all are and how comfy some are and some aren't iykwim? We had a Natures Sway but it was hopeless (for us)...yet others love them. Go figure!

Know what you mean LA, I have a pic of Jae at about 8 weeks old wearing a little tracksuit, and she looks much older  Thats why this one has lots of 'baby' clothes, and not much miniature 'real' clothes... I want it to stay a baby for as long as possible!
Not sure if your making the hike up here for P&C show, but slingbabies have a stall this year, I plan on going and hopefully having a play with what they have (Hoping they'll have brought the 'library' with them!) and all going well, will probably attempt to make my own moby-style wrap, and probably a pouch sling (search 'dulce and zoet' I think its called on trademe, thats the style I'm looking at) for in and out of the car etc

Oh I love the look of these dulce and zoet slings! Maybe I should go the the P&C show after all to have a play with them. I noticed they come in different sizes.
I got a monkey sling from Farmers (it was half price...) so thought I'd give that one a go. I think the strap can be adjusted so DH can possibly wear it as well.

This coming Friday through Sunday at the ASB showgrounds in Greenlane. Entry fee $15, but I found with all the samples and show deals etc, it was worth the entry fee last year, luckily I got a free pass for this year so def worth going now lol!
The only prob with the D&Z slings is it has to be measured to fit YOU, and isnt really one that can be used by anyone else (eg your DP/DH) unless they are the same size as you. Apparently Ring slings are similar concept, but adjustable to fit anyone... not sure if I like the look and how that large metal ring would feel sitting on/in front of the shoulder though  Annnd THIS is why i really hope the slingbabies stall will have their library of slings with them lol! Need somewhere to try before i buy!

Okay, i'm definitely going to go up and check everything out. My DH wouldn't wear baby in anything less than a backpack when she is older I don't imagine, so it only has to fit me. I too don't like the look of the ring sling, and given my bony prominant collarbone, I won't be purchasing one lol.

Going to head along to the next sling babies meeting next Friday see what will work for Catherine and I.
We're doing well she's feeding fantastically and Dh has been incredibly supportive don't know what I'd do without him.
Hoping the miracle blanket and dream wrap will help with her 3.30am waking up time and help her sleep.
She keeps coming unwrapped and getting over tired and upset.

Very cute pics LA!
When are you planning on coming up? I'd love to catch up. I think I'll be heading to the show on Friday morning, hoping to avoid crowds and while my feet are not tired and worn out!
But in saying that I also don't mind not going and being in labour instead. Don't think this will happen though. Maybe all the walking at the show will eventuate in something...
As much as I like the look of the D&Z slings my worries are also the fact that it will only fit me. But in saying that I don't actually know if DH will wear her. Haven't had that conversation yet. I just love all the differnt fabrics and colours they have!

I'm going Friday morning too! Plan is to drop B off at school, duck home and wait for the 9am rush hour traffic to die down, then shoot up to greenlane, prob around 9.30-10am must remember to get money for parking as well as spending money!
